New Delhi, March 25 A complaint of sexual harassment against artist Bose Krishnamachari was "one of the reasons" for his resignation from the post of president of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale (KMB) in January, Kochi Biennale Foundation chairperson Venu Vasudevan said.
However, the co-founder of KMB and co-curator of its first edition in 2012, Krishnamachari, said that the allegations are "misleading, unverified, and taken out of context".
Krishnamachari had stepped down as the president of the biennale and as a member of the board of trustees of the Kochi Biennale Foundation, citing "personal and family reasons".
"The Foundation's Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) received a complaint of sexual harassment against Krishnamachari. Although I am not sure about the date, the incident was alleged to have happened in the last week of December," Venu told
